Rebel Commentator

Holly Nicholas is a contributor for TheRebel.media from Calgary, AB. She is a vocal advocate of the oil and gas industry and is especially interested in science and technology, economic issues and oil and gas related topics like pipeline infrastructure and investments. Holly is also a lover of freedom and believes in personal responsibility - these beliefs are what inspire her to speak out on conservative issues across the spectrum. When she’s not battling the thought police on Twitter, she’s listing all the reasons why the aliens won’t visit us, preparing for the apocalypse, or listening to her collection of rock n’ roll records.

Last week I saw a new Nissan NV 200 van emblazoned with government decals and the Ecofitt logo. You may remember Ecofitt as the out of province company the NDP hired to install “free” lightbulbs at a cost of $21.5 million to Alberta taxpayers.

As Halloween approaches, the government’s war on fun continues: A city council in Bathurst, New Brunswick has placed a ban on kids over 16 trick or treating, and is also imposing an 8pm curfew for Halloween night.

Putting the safety of Canadians at risk, the Liberals continue to do nothing about Canada’s border crisis and even make things worse as they did last year when they lifted the visa requirements for Mexican nationals put in place by the Conservatives in 2009.
